"The government is trying to hold an election without Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina. But there will be no elections in the country’ without their participation. Even the people will not accept an election without the two leaders,” he said adding that the government is filing cases against the politicians to bar them from the noils.

“People know they [EC) are implementing others’ agenda," Delwar said, adding that the EC wants to hold an election in name only to change constitution through forming a 'rubber stamp' parliament.
The BNP leader categorically said that the political leaders themselves would bring changes in their parties' constitution, if necessary.
